Juiced dogs butcher each other in the UK

In a sick report, The Sun UK gives readers a look into the heinous world of dog fights in the UK.  Obviously sick humans raise, train, and dope dogs to fight in the ring.  We covered juiced cock fights, and 'roided dogs, but this story reeks of brutality.

Dogattack THERE has been a dramatic increase in recent years in the number of illegal dog-fights where animals are forced to rip each other to bits for the enjoyment of sick yobs.

And animal cruelty experts fear the popularity of the barbaric 'sport' could soon be as bad as in it's grisly 1980s heyday, where fights were taking place EVERY weekend...

Here is a look at the fights:

Brawls can last up to TWO hours as the dogs - mostly pitbulls - go head-to-head in 12ft-square pits, with devastating consequences.

Mike revealed how vicious thugs arrange fights as a way of showing their power and boosting their street cred.

"It isn't about money," he said, "It's about having the best dog.  If your dog wins three fights, it becomes a Champion. Five, and it goes up to a Grand Champion - the ultimate award - and that's what they aim for.

The dogs go through rigorous training, including anabolic steroids:

"Owners put their dogs into a tough training regime for weeks before and get them down to an agreed fighting weight - just like a boxer.  That includes treadmill work, diet, stamina, running around and steroids to get it completely lean with no fat."

The fights are brutal:

Dogfightpicbad1 Mike said: "The dogs fight face-to-face so you get lots of jaws and teeth broken and bad cuts.  "They get hold of something and shake it and won't let go.  Some dogs are left with broken legs and torn ears. Others are badly bruised.  Fights only stop when the owner says so and throws in the towel.  Dogs don't often die in the ring. If they do die, it's usually from shock in the days following a fight."

The evil thugs who take part in dog-fighting are often criminals who use the animals as a bizarre extension of themselves.

Fights are morbidly reported on in niche publications that use fake names and dates to avoid detection.

This is cruel, criminal, reprehensible, and should be punished severely.  This week just did not bring out the best in humans all over the world.
